“Reversing an eight-year-old limit on potentially life-saving science, President Barack Obama plans to lift restrictions Monday on taxpayer-funded research using embryonic stem cells.” (from the AP)

It is potentially life-saving and absolutely life-destroying. Considering the loss of life involved in ESCR and all of the alternatives now available to researchers I am really baffled as to why anyone would even consider ESCR. I know not everyone believes an embryo should be cherished as human life, but as big as the debate is and with the alternatives out there why even open up the debate? Don’t just block government funding, ban that method of research completely and move people to the alternatives.
